Chapter 303 - 116 "Night 1" (9600 words)_2
Both of them understood the implication - or rather, the loophole in the rule.
There are only seven rooms on the second floor!
Seven groups of guests!
If they survive the first night, the seven groups of guests will have to switch rooms according to the rules.
That was impossible to achieve.
Seven groups of guests, an odd number. According to the rules, room switching must be done in pairs, meaning one room’s guest would be left alone with no one to switch with!
The rules also state that if a guest is left alone and there is no one to switch with, they must choose from the remaining empty rooms...
But... there are no more empty rooms on the second floor!!!
"So, the fact that the host here set this rule means he is sure that after the first night, there definitely won’t be seven groups of guests left - someone will definitely die, leaving a room empty!" Chen Yan said coldly.
Chu Keqing nodded: "Senior is right... and the room switching rule is also worth pondering.
Room switching requires that the living guests switch rooms with each other, and both must be willing! Such a strict rule means the value of switching rooms must be significant..."
"Because of the dangers in the rooms?" Chen Yan thought for a moment, then said: "The Puppet mentioned, the dangers in each room are different. If a guest survives the first night...
they would know the danger in their room! Since they survived, they would know how to handle it! In this situation, switching rooms also means exchanging information!"
Chu Keqing nodded: "Yes, if you knew in advance what dangers were in the room and how to deal with them, undoubtedly the survival rate would greatly increase."
Chen Yan sneered: "Provided, of course, both parties are honest... If someone offers false information to trap the other..."
"Then both sides need to be cautious in distinguishing the truth." Chu Keqing sighed.
At this moment, suddenly...
Bang bang!
The door to the room was knocked.
Chen Yan and Chu Keqing were both startled.
Then Chen Yan gestured to Chu Keqing, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Chu Keqing immediately reached into her shoulder bag, pulled out a few Talismans, and held them between her fingers.
There was a peephole on the door, and through it, Chen Yan saw the white-clad figure standing outside.
Hmm?
Chen Yan was taken aback.
But he thought for a moment, one hand in his pocket gripping a Talisman, the other hand slowly turned the doorknob to open the door.
The person standing outside was the guy in white clothes and a high hat.
This guy’s face, originally ghastly pale, had been expressionless like a zombie, and even when he smiled, it was creepy.
But at this moment, he stood at the door, watched as Chen Yan opened it, looked around, and then suddenly lowered his head and said softly:
"Can I come in?"
Chen Yan was stunned!
Because... this guy spoke the Dragon language!
·
"..." After being stunned for a second, Chen Yan’s eyes flickered, then he slowly stepped back to make way.
The white-clad figure nodded, stepped in.
Chen Yan closed the door behind him.
Once inside, the guy walked down the hallway, into the bedroom, stood by the bed, looked at both Chen Yan and Chu Keqing.
He slowly reached up and gently wiped his face.
The white, plaster-like makeup vanished, revealing his true face.
A plain, ordinary-looking face, with a high nose bridge but a slightly large mouth, overall giving a fairly proper appearance.
Clearing his makeup, he smiled at Chen Yan, this time the smile was much more normal, and then he said: "You’re from Dragon Country."
It was not a question, but a statement of certainty.
Both Chen Yan and Chu Keqing’s faces slightly changed, especially Chu Keqing, whose fingers holding the Talisman Paper trembled slightly, almost throwing it out.
"Hold on." Chen Yan gestured with his hand.
He thought for a moment, then coldly said straight out: "What do you want?"
"Not curious how I knew?" the man asked in return.
"No need." Chen Yan shook his head.
"Then shall we talk?" The man glanced at the hourglass on the table: "We have more than half an hour."
Chen Yan took two steps back, standing side by side with Chu Keqing: "Alright, talk about what?"
"Talk about the possibility of cooperation." The man said slowly.
Chen Yan laughed: "You’re from Japan, everyone here is your compatriot, and that guy in black should be your brother, right? Why come to us, two people from Dragon Country, for cooperation?"
The man’s expression became strange, then he shook his head: "I’m not a... someone living a comfortable life. I’m from Dragon Country!"
Saying this, he pointed at his COS White Impermanence outfit: "This identity, I’m faking, pretending."
Seeming determined to make a shocking statement, he even pointed at the door’s direction: "As for that guy in black... he’s not my brother."
Actually, I killed his brother, and then took his identity to come here."
Both Chen Yan and Chu Keqing’s expressions changed!
What? Talking is fine, but you go straight to the big reveals?
Chen Yan swallowed: "Wait, brother... do you trust us that much? Such a big thing, you reveal your cards right away?"
The man glanced at the hourglass, shook his head: "Time is tight, no time for roundabouts."
Chen Yan pondered for a moment: "Why should I trust you?"
The man looked calmly at Chen Yan: "Because I saved over twenty of your people."
